Just in time for winter, a new glycol tank for the airport

The Albany County Airport Authority will receive $3.14 million in federal funds to help pay for a new sealed storage tank for the collection of glycol after it has been used to de-ice airplanes at Albany International Airport. The announcement was made by U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. The funds come from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airport Improvement Program.

The new tank will replace an existing storage lagoon.

“Maintaining safety of the glycol bio-treatment facility is a sure sign that Albany International will remain a good neighbor to travelers as well as to the Capital Region community,” Schumer said.
